Mounds View City Council June 11, 1990 <br /> Regular Meeting Page Ten <br /> Councilmember Blanchard reviewed the history of the • <br /> park, taken from the booklet on Mounds View history. <br /> She noted how it tells of the residents of the area <br /> working together and building the park, and that they <br /> did not just contribute money but also built it them- <br /> selves, and also maintained it. She stated she feels <br /> it is self gratification that is taking the place of <br /> commitment with the Lion 's Club, and that you cannot <br /> put monetary value on this. She also stressed that <br /> the Lion ' s Club did not build the park but rather <br /> enhanced it. She noted there is a beautiful plaque <br /> going up, giving recognition, and changing the name <br /> is wrong, as it was the citizens of Mounds View and <br /> Spring Lake Park who built the park, not the Lion's <br /> Club. <br /> Councilmember Paone stated Lion' s International wants <br /> the local groups to get recognition, and for people <br /> to be aware of what they do. He noted they are a <br /> community service organization, active in community <br /> projects, and he sees nothing wrong with a plaque <br /> or sign in the park but he does not feel the name <br /> needs to be changed. He stated it would be different <br /> if the ground was bought and developed by the Lion 's <br /> Club, but it wasn 't. He added they are a very good <br /> organization, .but he does not approve of changing • <br /> the historical name. <br /> Councilmember Conde stated he would like to thank <br /> Bob Helseth, who gave him the records and history of <br /> the park. <br /> Laurie Helseth, 7666 Knollwood, stated many women <br /> have given a good deal of time to the park also. <br /> The work was done by many individuals, and Lakeside <br /> Park should remain Lakeside Park. It is a community <br /> name and should stand. <br /> Councilmember Mason noted many Lion's Clubs have nice <br /> signs upon entering a city, and asked if something <br /> similar would be appropriate to place at the park. <br /> Mr. Stuart replied it strikes him that it would <br /> appear the Lion ' s Club is trying to take over the <br /> park. He again stated the Lion's Club needs new <br /> members to keep going. <br /> Councilmember Carlson stated she didn't feel people <br /> would understand what Lion's Lakeside Park would <br /> mean, and she didn't believe people would associate <br /> it with the club. She added she feels greater <br /> recognition would come from having an emblem posted. • <br />
